There is nothing evil about tables, which are a part of html and as such serve the purpose of marking up tabular content. If the content is naturally tabular, then it is wrong to mark it up other than with a table.
Yes, it is wrong to use tables to create a layout, but not to use them when appropriate is equally mistaken. As Bill said, what HTML should be all about is the semantics of the content. That is what it is designed for, and was right from the start. Use HTML to mark up the meaning of the content, and CSS to modify it's presentation. Abuse of DIVs simply for layout is just as wrong as abusing tables for the same purpose. If you think there is a debate about "divs vs. tables" you just simply don't get it. And I close with a recommendation to read the links provided by Bill. -- Ed Seedhouse ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [cs...@lists.css-discuss.org] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
